For sale or trade: Steal this home at 2006's appraisal price of $1,650,000! This is the largest home in the most popular exclusive gated community in the Des Moines area. With horse privileges, sitting on 5.65 acres with fruit trees, barn and fenced in pasture/corral this lovely approximately 12,000 sq ft contemporary hillside ranch has two double garages as well. The home has a striking spacious two story marble entry from the front door into the great room straight ahead with one of the most massive mirrors you have ever seen hanging in the large room with a two story vaulted ceiling. Off the entry are two large rooms that can be used as offices or sitting rooms. There are high ceilings throughout, with 9 bedrooms, 9 baths, 3 kitchens, 5 dining rooms (both formal and informal), conference room, theatre room, gym, game room, family room, two laundry rooms with another roughed in. A portion of all that is a guest apartment in the lower level with its own double garage. The library is above one office with a spiral staircase leading to it, oak, marble, tile and carpeted floors throughout, a four seasons room, and a huge deck (appx 60' x 12') with one of the most incredible views anyone could imagine! (Another plus is that you can watch 7-8 fireworks displays at once on the Fourth of July from this deck!) Many, many large Southern exposure windows lend the home to great passive solar heat in the winter with blinds to cool it in the summer really helps with the utility bills that are not bad at all considering the size of this home. (Only $150 last month!) For those with lingering children that have not found their way out of the "nest" and/or those with parents returning to live with you, the way this home is laid out it can actually be divided into three separate living quarters. One with one bedroom, large kitchen, formal dining, laundry room and double garage. One with three bedrooms, two baths, living room, dining room and kitchen with roughed in laundry. And the main house with 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, kitchen, 3 dining areas, library, laundry, two offices, conference room, four seasons room, huge deck with hot tub, and a double garage.
